RIP Richard Wright

Richard Wright, founder, keyboardist and pianist for Pink Floyd passed away on 15th September, 2008 of cancer.

Richard Wright was an influential musician. His richly textured keyboard playing was a big part of the psychedelic/progressive sound of Pink Floyd. Not one to hog all the limelight, he was the pivotal rhythm man among the fab four.

It's just shocking. Here I was hoping for a Pink Floyd reunion.

God knows, maybe the heavens need to be psyched up!

Rest in Peace Richard. You'll be missed.

Quoting from 'Us and Them' from the album 'Dark Side of the Moon', one of his compositions.

Down and out
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about.
With, without.
And who'll deny its what the fighting's all about?
Out of the way, its a busy day
I've got things on my mind.
For the want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died
